Adjunct Faculty - Engineering

WVNCC seeks individuals to fill temporary, part-time adjunct faculty positions throughout our academic areas on a course‑by‑course basis.

In an effort to maintain a pool of potential, qualified adjunct faculty candidates, WVNCC welcomes interested individuals to apply.

This pool will be accessed ONLY when an opening arises and is based on enrollment. Your credentials will remain active as long as the pool position is available but no more than a year (12 months).

WVNCC utilizes adjunct faculty during both the day and evening hours on our campuses (Wheeling, New Martinsville, and Weirton), and as remote (online) instructors, depending on the instructional needs of the College.

Adjunct faculty are compensated at our current adjunct faculty per load hour or equivalent rate, with load hours not normally exceeding 9 hours per semester or 18 hours per academic year, excluding summer sessions.

Adjunct faculty are eligible to receive reappointment; however, no number of appointments shall create any presumption of a right to reappointment or designation as tenured or full‑time faculty.
